Cool Wacky JFD part 2

Here is an example of the quest to boost high-band gain by adding antenna bling in the form of folded dipole loops tuned for high bandjfd 1.jpg.

This is a later version of a broadband VHF antenna jfd 2.jpg
using a helical high-band (zig-zag) very common in the early 1960's.

Both these VHF antennas have companion a UHF antenna. This is none other than JFD's unique version of the super-efficient bow-tie corner reflector.
